Conrad Murray, the physician accused of injecting Michael Jackson with a lethal amount of sedatives, was ordered to stand trial on a count of involuntary manslaughter. According to TMZ, Judge Michael Pastor then ordered the suspension of Murray's license as a condition to the doctor's bail.
E! Online reports that Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charge. This ruling comes only six days after more than 20 prosecution witnesses testified that Murray violated his duties as a medical professional by injecting Jackson with a surgical-grade anesthetic then failing to properly monitor him to see the effects of the drug.
One of Jackson's bodyguards, Alberto Alvarez, testified at the preliminary hearing against Murray, confirming that the doctor demonstrated "an extreme deviation from the standard of care" by administering the amounts of anesthetic he did to Jackson, then concealing the evidence and not thoroughly attempting to resuscitate the King of Pop.
Janet Jackson was outspoken about her belief that Murray was responsible for her brother's death. "He was the one that was administering," she told ABC's Robin Roberts. "I think he is responsible."

Octomom's Doctor Could Lose His Medical License
The doctor who pulled off one of the most miraculous births in human history is now in a mess of legal trouble. Dr. Michael Kamrava, Octomom's fertility specialist, is reportedly in danger of losing his license to practice medicine after being accused of "gross negligence" by the California Medical Board. The accusation comes from Kamrava's handling of Octomom's reproductive treatment, according to RadarOnline.com.
The report says Jan. 27 will mark the verdict as to whether Kamrava's license will only be suspended or completely revoked.
Earlier this month, Radar reported that judge Daniel Juarez submitted his recommendation for review to the board after Kamrava implanted Octomom (aka Nadya Suleman) with 12 embryos, which led to her giving birth to her octuplets.
Kamrava reportedly apologized for this in a court hearing in 2010.
"At the time that I did it, I thought I did the right thing," Kamrava said at the hearing. "When I look back at it, even with all those circumstances, I was wrong."
Regardless, deputy attorney general Judith Alvarado insisted Kamrava "poses a risk to the health and welfare of the community" after the hearing.
